Pse, wish I could shoot good enough to use 90%

 

Athens

 

PSE hl evolve cams go from 80% 85% 90% and no press needed to change the let off.

 

Not sure why you would want a hunting bow with 90% let off since some states do not allow it unless you only plan to hunt in state that allows 90%.

 

That's correct, my state doesn't allow 90%

 

My SR6 was really close to 90% letoff. I had about 7-7.5# of holding weight on a 63# bow if I remember correctly. I actually built up my draw stops to lower my letoff on mine.

 

90% sucks!

 

Ditto this - I see no practical advantage whatsoever - and letting down is a nightmare !! ... with my FT at its 75% - I'm still only holding 25% of my draw weight - so that 15lbs at 60lbs or 17.5lbs at 70lbs etc - if you boys can't comfortably hold back that sort of weight - time to go back to knitting !!

 

Elite Ritual 30. I love it!

 

I like 75-80% myself.

 

Love Elite’s 90% (doubt that it’s really 90%) but I shoot better and hold steadier with the higher let off....no creep in their valley.
You can adjust the let off and valley to whatever suits you.

 

Agreed. I doubt it’s 90%. But still a pleasure to shoot.

 

I love my Athens! I would really recommend giving them a look

 

Obsession bows have 90% this year as well. I will be setting my obsession up very soon.

 

This is just ppl not understanding. They don’t want more letoff, they want a more generous valley. Usually you get one with the other, but not always. It’s why ppl hate the spiral cam and love the old elites, because they aren’t strong enough to shoot their weight.

 

i have to agree. I went from 75 to 80 and that was all the feel I needed. I can hold 80 for the entire stare down contest. Let the adrenaline flow! Then Send It!

 

My 2020 rezults boasts 90%
On a draw board, at 29 inches draw length, it does not meaure 90%.
Nor does it feel like 90% when holding it.
I think you would have to max out the draw length in order to get the cams rotated enough to get to 90%
That being said, I shoot it with the draw stops at the 70% setting.

My pse bows actually measure 90% with the high let off mods.

 

Bear archery also has 90% L/O bows now.
Darton bows have 85% L/O, which feels pretty good. Very good valley and solid wall. It's about as much as I would want. 80% would probably be even better. But atleast with the Darton I don't have any problem letting down. I think if I had a PSE that was capable of 90% L/O, I would set it on 80% or 85% L/O.

 

Prime went to 90% on their new Black Series. Actually, they allow you to adjust from 65% to 90%. https://youtu.be/kmbMHtO6ioo

 

I can see where guys that shoot target have issue with high letoff. But for guys like me that shoot just for hunting and practice in the backyard, 90% letoff is sure nice, especially in some hunting situations that can arise. I love my evolve cams at 90%.

 

Prime also has 90% or more. What I learned last year is while the high Let off sure feels nice and definitely feels like it has benefit, it definitely effected my long range accuracy. More pin float and grip torque because of it. I backed mine down to 83% let off and it made a world of difference past 40 yards. I also think higher the setoff, the more your form flaws will show.

 

I have shot, but don't own a 90% letoff bow. But does this make sense? If you're holding less weight, bow torque should be less. If you're punching paper with a 30 lb bow vs. a 70 lb bow then it should be easier to perfect your form. What am I missing?

 

the revolt duo from bowtech will be right at 90% in the comfort setting.

 

New PSE's are 90%+ saw one of the medium priced alum. bows holding at full draw by just the weight of the riser!

 

I was setting up my new Prime yesterday and there are settings within their cam system that go over 90%. Once on the scale I drew 53 pounds and was holding under 3. I didn't like it though, felt like I had to literally push the string back into the bow to let it down. But, it was like holding almost nothing. I will keep it somewhere around 85 or so but it will go higher if you want to.

 

My Prime is at 73lbs with 90 percent let off.

Whitetail range and I’m perfectly fine with how I shoot out to 40. It’s so easy to hold back, it really feels like I’m holding nothing back. I came from a bow at 75 percent and I thought I wouldn’t like the 90.

The draw back is there is a definite hump drawing back at 90 percent let off.

I don't care for the hump and dump in the draw cycle at 30" with 90% let off. At 80% it is a much better drawing bow.

 

90% sucks for me hate it .....80% feels perfect for hunting for me on the Evolve cams

 

Same for me. Actually 75% on my stealth is money. Tried the higher let off but just can’t make myself like it.

 

I just picked up a Darton Prelude and with no pads on the stops it’s 85% let off with a little dump into the valley. You have to push it forward and I can relax a little at full draw. I don’t see an accuracy difference. With the 80% pad added it’s much smoother and zero dump but a little jumpy if you relax. I haven’t decided which I like better yet. For drawing on a deer and letting down the smoothness is much better at 80% but if I relax it wants to jerk forward. I think a hunting situation and having to hold at full draw until the deer takes a couple steps or turns, being able to relax some without fear it’s going to take off is nice. It’s a double edged sword but nice to have options.
